Tumor-to-Breast Volume Ratio: Supporting the decision for a partial breast resection through the visualization of tumor-to-breast volume ratio and the response to a neoadjuvant treatment² (case report – Research Use Only)
Lymph Nodes: Visualizing lymph nodes and multifocal tumor localization on a pre-neoadjuvant breast MRI
Assess necessity of surgical treatment, partial vs total mastectomy², oncoplasty
DIEP, oncoplasty
MRI analysis and surgical strategy assessment¹
Informs conservative vs radical treatment decision²
Improvement in MRI analysis accuracy¹
The three cases are real-life examples of using the VR-AVATAR medical device for breast cancer surgery treatment: evaluation of the tumor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, decision for breast conservative or radical treatment, decision for loco-regional treatment in metastatic setting. Through these three real-life cases, we describe the potential impact of VR-AVATAR medical device use in clinical daily practice in breast cancer surgery. It seems like a useful tool, easy to use, providing high-quality images, helping with surgery planning and decisions.
The aim of this study was to compare the speed and accuracy of surgeons using a virtual reality (VR) visualization tool versus standard image slice-based visualization tools for the the analysis of breast magnetic resonance images (MRIs).
With the aid of a virtual reality (VR) software, we report the ability to rapidly confirm and secure and indication for partial surgery of multiple lesions in a 31-year old patient.
